Saturday Dugout Discussion
Filed under: Dugout Discussion - Posted by: Mark
With just four Premier League matches to take in, this is a muted Saturday afternoon. However, with Gameweek totals affected by blanks and points hits, today’s events at Loftus Road, Carrow Road, the Hawthorns and at the Madjeski, are undoubtedly vital to our fortunes.
Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now open for business, ready to soak up reaction as we hopefully trundle towards respectability in what is no ordinary Saturday afternoon.
Thankfully, the team news hands us few surprises, despite the best efforts of Swansea’s twitter service who decided to miss Michu out of their lineup at West Brom, only to correct themselves minutes later: Michu starts. Elsewhere, there’s little of note, except perhaps the omission of both Nathaniel Clyne and Jason Puncheon from the Saints lineup by Mauricio Pochettino for their trip to Norwich – the pair are on the bench. Paul Lambert has also dealt some Fantasy managers a blow, deciding to drop Charles N’Zogbia to the bench for their crucial trip to Reading. Bobby Zamora returns to boost QPR’s hopes at home to Sunderland, Kei Kamara earns a first start for Norwich, while Romelu Lukaku and Chris Brunt make a return to the Baggies lineup as expected.

~SpartakMac says:
So after today, which of the 3 popular strikers for this GW are you going to hold on to?
Remy, Lukaku, Benteke.
March 9 at 5:18 pm
Reply Fail says:
Benteke
March 9 at 5:19 pm
Spike says:
Benteke. Only just got him so keeping for QPR game
March 9 at 5:20 pm
Mile Plankton - Myth and Chronology says:
This.
March 9 at 5:19 pm
greggles says:
i was thinking of buying Benteke for next week’s game, but I think QPR will do them next weekend now…
March 9 at 5:20 pm
rigby says:
lukaku (had him for a while)
both great players but benteke has the albatross of the villa team around hiv neck
March 9 at 5:21 pm

Remy. Got him at 5.7m he will give me a strong option for rotation with my 5th mid with Suarez/RVP as my first choice strikers.
March 9 at 5:18 pm
Dynamic says:
Wild Rover, looks like you’re going to win in our UEFA H2H tie.
It’s well deserved after that amazing Townsend punt.
I’m already through whatever, so it looks like we’re both getting into the next round.
Well played
March 9 at 5:19 pm
kaz says:
Europa or UCL?
March 9 at 5:19 pm

March 9 at 5:18 pm
greggles says:
What are Geoff Cameron’s chances of starting tomorrow, or at least making an appearance?
March 9 at 5:19 pm
Dynamic says:
Not good for starting I don’t think
March 9 at 5:21 pm
Qubitov says:
probably not great, but who knows with Pulis. I decided to get rid for Russel Martin, mainly because I needed to shift Cameron as part of my future transfer plans, so best to do it this week.
March 9 at 5:21 pm
Ricky 'smokes lets go' - AOF says:
i think he may play. etherington out so shotton to rm and defence of cameron shawx wilson wilkinson
March 9 at 5:22 pm
greggles says:
that would be sweeeet. then i’ll have 11 appearances (N’Zog gave me a precious point)
March 9 at 5:28 pm
gooberman says:
Etherington doesnt play right midfield does he? Thought he played on the left
March 9 at 5:18 pm
ajay_kl says:
Remy, Lukaku, Benteke all scored.

Baps are going to be a lottery, particularly the Nor/Sot game. Anyone care to have go?
I reckon they will come from Turner, Martin, Snod, Shaw and Bunn
March 9 at 5:22 pm
Plymouth says:
Why not Boruc?
March 9 at 5:25 pm
rulocal says:
Good point.
. a PK saves mucha ppi+

Bunn got them a few games ago, so you never know
March 9 at 5:24 pm
Mile Plankton - Myth and Chronology says:
When he saved pen.
March 9 at 5:21 pm
I Like Small Butts & I Can Lie says:
Glad to see Guthrie get 10 minutes today. I can see him being an important player in Reading’s final run of games and he surely has to start if they have any chance of staying up.
Still in hope he can be a great cheap 5th midfielder.
March 9 at 5:23 pm
Herr Vets - Die Rothosen says:
I’ll probably keep. Too few transfers to worry about him now and we won’t have another gw like this this season.
March 9 at 5:25 pm
I Like Small Butts & I Can Lie says:
Yeah I’m keeping. For 4.1 we can hope he gets more game time
March 9 at 5:27 pm
Tony Hibberts Love Child says:
He is a shit 5th midfielder there is no hope of him ever being great.
March 9 at 5:29 pm
rigby says:
unless he doesn’t feel like playing..

March 9 at 5:22 pm
Qubitov says:
too high
March 9 at 5:23 pm

March 9 at 5:23 pm
Wild Rover says:
It will be meaningless at this stage as so many points will be on benches
March 9 at 5:26 pm
Lanley Staurel says:
Fair point.
March 9 at 5:26 pm
GunsnRoses says:
You are correct
March 9 at 5:24 pm

March 9 at 5:25 pm
Lanley Staurel says:
Yeh too high. I’d go for 11.
March 9 at 5:26 pm
megatron x says:
i’ll predict that the average score will be inconsequential as always. people really have no idea that over half the entries are dead
